i created a sliced image in photoshop with a hyperlink in it. i want to add this to my mainpage.

if i add it to the html of the mainpage as an image (png), the image shows, but the hyperlink doesnt work. if i add it as an html file to the mainpage, the image doesnt show up at all, just a place holder shows. if i preview the html file in my browser, it does fully work (image shows and it is clickable).

can someone please tell me what i am doing wrong as far as trying to get this hyperlinked image onto my mainpage?

thanks.

I'd put the image in between <a href> tags (so the whole image is a link to wherever), or hotspot the image using an image map (if you wanted to say link just some text in the image or one country if it was an image of the world. Unless you had a good reason to hotspot, stick with the earlier idea.

That's a good idea, thanks for the suggestion! Some images, however, do have more than one hyperlink, so i'd have to do the latter idea you suggested.

I used the slice tool in PhotoShop and then edited the properties to link it to a hyperlink. Then I saved for web and devices as html and image. Am I supposed to upload the image file or the html file to the mainpage, if you know?

If it's the mainpage and you have to use hotspots / image maps then I'd add in the html through the editor itself via the Admin.

So for example you set up your image:

Then add in the map tags:

You might be able to use the map tag info out of the html folder created with the image from pshop, depends.
